Art of War 03:42
My neighbor always wants to put me in play But his strategy is so tragically flawed My neighbor acts like he don't know me for days And then magically, that little bastard he calls He won't leave me alone, even though I know he really don't want it at all I said he won't leave me alone, and before I wage war I really wanna know Why would you play, would you waste Would you take any crazy away from your place and put it in me baby Art isn't what I want It's beautiful but that's not what makes me come Start to give me what I want Or be ready for me to only piss you off My neighbor claims that he has something I crave But it's a fantasy. Shiny and safe, glittery walls Should I have something saved to say just in case Better not answer me, or I might answer his calls He won't leave me alone, even though I know he really don't want it at all I said he won't leave me alone, and before I wage war I really wanna know Why would I waste, would I play Would I take any crazy away to mistake something other than his Art isn't what I want It's beautiful but that's not what makes me come Start to give me what I want Or be ready for me to only piss you off If you really don't want it, don't need it, then leave it alone If you really don't want it, don't need it, then leave it alone If you really do want it, not sure how to get it and you never would have said it And you can't help regressing to your adolescent self When your sex-ed lessons hadn't kicked in yet Come on, come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on, come on and tell me Why would I waste, would I play Would I take any crazy away from your place and put it in me baby Art isn't what I want It's beautiful but that's not what makes me come Start to give me what I want Or be ready for me to only piss you off Art isn't what I want All I want is some, all I want is some All I want is some peace, please

Only so much that a man can stand to take Hand in hand the plans we make Danced around the subject, slammed it on your face Got up and ran away These decisions last, hidden in the past I knew it back when we were kids sitting in the caf We didn't ask for what was given back If you gotta run, run like this If you gotta front, backstroke it If you gotta blow, if you gotta break If you gotta make a getaway then shake a leg, escape If you gotta ride, step on it If you gotta take a hike, go hitch If you gotta blow, then you should grow some nuts for your heartache and go Make no mistake, I'm gone But this world's too big for you to take it on While you wait alone it'll knock you down and race along A lot of blame with no one left to place it on I get it though, all that love and let it go Can't get comfortable in a rented home She left a note I read it slow It hurts, but I don't let it show If you gotta run, run like this If you gotta front, backstroke it If you gotta blow, if you gotta break If you gotta make a getaway then shake a leg, escape If you gotta ride, step on it If you gotta take a hike, go hitch If you gotta blow, then you should grow some nuts for your heartache and go Won't you leave me alone Won't you leave me alone Don't believe in platinum memories of home When you know It's just chrome Yeah I know the way out, when I came out it was beautiful Now it's cold and grey out But if I go I'll stay out Til I fly far enough away to push my seat back and pull my tray out I'm better off without you Tossed around, lost and found you Wanted me to love but I'm not about to I've forgotten how to If you gotta run, run like this If you gotta front, backstroke it If you gotta blow, if you gotta break If you gotta make a getaway then shake a leg, escape If you gotta ride, step on it If you gotta take a hike, go hitch If you gotta blow, then you should grow some nuts for your heartache and go Take both of your chromosomes, bag up your testosterone And climb your ass off my throne, throne, throne, throne Just go, you always move snail pace slow Get going before we're old I want the chill out my bones, bones, bones Won't you leave me alone Won't you leave me alone Don't believe in platinum memories of home When you know It's just chrome

Pussy 03:04
Now all I wanted was a nice boy After years of ass hats who were mean And when I saw gentleman-land-ahoy I jumped ship and threw my finger at the sea What nobody told me, told me, told me About the land of happy kitties, love and dreams What no one told me, told me, told me Is that the dudes here are mother fucking You said you tried, and we both knew it Maybe you're bad at what you do or really stupid And if I liked how you do it Why would I even think to go and ruin A man who loves me like in movies l-o-v-e He makes the sun shine, birds sing, world turn, bells ring He's gentle like a summer breeze candle Sweet, with an open heart More like a pussy More like a pussy More like a pussy, uh huh I feel better, that thought was on repeat I've been meaning to tell you but I've been busy It's crossed my mind so much my brain's scribbled out A faded memory, a shadow of a doubt Replaced with you running your mouth La la la la 'bout your feelings And the longest list of me I should discard And if you're the best that I can do let's Paxil me, Viagra you Cuz I don't see a man who goes hard, nah More like a pussy More like a pussy More like a pussy Uh huh La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la la la la Sweet with an open heart La la la la la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la la la la I don't see a man who goes hard Oh my god you're such a pussy More like a pussy More like a pussy Uh huh

Joseph 03:46
My man he goes by Joseph Call him Joe if you don't know him Find his hand with 2 bills folded, ordering a drink And honest man, he's got no slogans He smells good without cologne And if you choose to go approach him, ask him what he thinks About the other girls there, about the way he got here About his last girlfriend, is he a working man, and what's the plan today My man he knows these ropes, he'll always make his way back home And so he thinks that I don't know, I simply smile and say I love you babe. I don't know why I love you babe. No, I don't know why I love you babe. I don't know why I love you babe. I don't know why Sometimes when I'm alone, I go online and I see who's home Write letters to people that I don't know and never really will I cruise photos of studio apartments Choose a place, but never call them For the first time money ain't the problem, I just got time to kill I know why he's out there, and I know why he's not here Why don't I care at all, I'm not sad, I applaud I'm glad he doesn't call My man he knows me so I up my game with welcome home I smile the same, I play the role, and I always say I love you babe. I don't know why I love you babe. No, I don't know why I love you babe. I don't know why I love you babe. I don't know why Everlasting, unconditional is a passing thrill you all should know I've been asking the 16 year old I used to be, she thinks that I should go Do something unpredictable, out the safety zone, accident prone But if you'd ask me 10 years from now, I'm positive that I'd still say I love you babe. I don't know why I love you babe. No, I don't know why I love you babe. I don't know why I love you babe. I don't know why No, I don't know why. No, I don't know why. No, I don't know why But I love you babe No, I don't know why. No I don't know why But I love you babe
